NeNe Leakes is inching her way into being a scripted TV star. She just booked a role on Ryan Murphy’s NBC pilot, New Normal, which is about a gay couple and their surrogate who will carry their baby. 

Now that she has Glee under her belt, she’s well on her way to learning how to read! I couldn’t be more proud of our little NeNe…she read her lines all by herself, auditioned, and booked the part! Now the trick is to get Kim to learn…

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    Hopefully the NBC stagehands will have two hand trucks to carry NeNe’s boobs into the building.

    Ryan Murphy clearly loves his drag queens.

    Sorry everyone else in the Housewives franchise, no matter how short lived this show may be. Nene has actually taken the extra step,out of the reality world. Bravo(the compliment not the channel) Mrs. Saggy Boobies, may your new money buy you a supportive bra and back teeth.
